    Hello

    For our 8 day trip we are covering all three mountains peaks , I just want to check won’t it be repetative or they all are different.

    Are we overdoing the mountain peaks .

    Also I have seen lot of ice activities are free in Mt Titlis where as high charge in Jungfrau what’s the difference between them .

    Thanks to myswissalps I checked lot of forums which help me in planning my itinerary for our trip.

    Hi Mahi,

    Different people will give you different answers on this question 🙂 Personally I don’t think you can easily overdo it when visiting the peaks. The views are different and so is the way to get there, activities, nearby hiking options. But there are also people who feel that one peak visit is sufficient. Best you can do is visit our pages about these mountains and read about all details there, and then see what appeals to you most:

    Hi Mahli

    Visited a few mountains on our two holidays I Switzerland. Definitely recommend Titlis for activities and Gornergrat for the view of Matterhorn preferably on a clear day. Pilatus also has activities but we did not have time to check it out. All easily accessed by train. Re Jungfrau I really found it over commercialised and pricey and the worst part was the overcrowdedness. As the train up can go from Grindelwald I would personally recommend First mountain in the same town which has both activities and a spectacular viewing platform.
    Also for a slightly different access experience there is the Stanserhorn open top cable car at Stans not too far from Lucerne

    Have a fabulous holiday

    Hi Mahi! No, there won’t be snow on all mountain tops in August-September. There should normally be at the higher tops such as Titlis (at least the Ice Flyer segment; http://www.myswissalps.com/ti tlis) and Jungfraujoch (http://www.myswissalps.com/ju ngfraujoch), but due to climate change and higher temperatures there are no strict guarantees.

    Hi Mahi-

    <<“schithron”>>

    Schilthorn.

    <<“Personally I don’t think you can easily overdo it when visiting the peaks. .”>>

    Well, maybe. 😉

    If you comeback 20 or 30 times, maybe you can. Or, you might pick favorites parts to return to.

    Nonetheless, I’d consider Luzern, because you get more choices, in addition to High Alps..

    Slowpoke
